Description

'Asheridge' is first mentioned in 1200 and again in 1535 in legal documents (B1).
A school, a small Congregational chapel dating from 1891 and Widmore Farm, with a public-house and a few cottages, form the nucleus of Ashridge hamlet with Ashridge and Wood Farms at its northern end and Tiles Farm on the south (B2).
'Ashridge' is marked on OS maps from 1812 onwards (B3).
